ABSTRACT

Algae were collected in natural freshwater reservoirs in the foothill and mountain zones on the territory of North Ossetia (Russia, North Caucasus). As a result of processing this collection of algae and critically re-evaluating a few records available in the literature, 21 species of Zygnematales have been confirmed for the territory. Mougeotia macrospora (Wille) De Tony and Spirogyra scrobiculata (Stockm.) Czurda were recorded for the second time in the world; Mougeotia parvula Hass., Spirogyra glabra Czurda, S. nitida (Dillw.) Link, S. parvula (Trans.) Czurda, and S. varians (Hass.) Kütz. f. minor Teod. are reported for the first time for the Caucasus; and Zygnema peliosporum Wittr., Spirogyra borgeana Trans., S. decimina (O. Müll.) Kütz. f. longata (Vauch.) V. Poljansk., S. dubia Kütz., S. inflata (Vauch.) Kütz., and S. weberi Kütz. — for the first time for Ossetia. Zygnema peliosporum and Spirogyra ternata Ripart are rare species for Eurasia. Descriptions for all studied species are supplied with drawings, information on their distribution in North Ossetia and the Caucasus, and critical notes concerning mainly peculiarities of identification, taxonomic position and similarity to morphologically similar taxa, and occasionally with their history of study and a corrected authorship of the taxon. As an exception, four species are reported on the basis of literary data only.
